Phoronix: GNOME 3.0 May Not Come Until September 2010

Back in July of 2008 we learned of GNOME 3.0 as plans were laid out during the GUADEC '08 conference to make the GNOME 2.30 release their "3.0" version. A art and user-interface followed months later and then this April the GNOME 3.0 road-map was laid out that put this release, which will overhaul the GNOME desktop in comparison to the usual incremental releases, to come in March of 2010...

It's probably best if it got pushed back a little. I'm sure the GNOME guys don't want to repeat KDE 4.0

You also forget to mention that it's better to be KDE4 than Enlightenment e17.

Or better to be KDE4 than to be Gnome even. Gnome 2.0 game out in 2002. In 7 years, can you honestly name me 5 major improvements? Do they even have a stable full featured music manager yet? (IIRC Banshee still doesn't support sorting by genre). Clean or not, that's a damn shame.

This is real and actual "vanilla" gnome with its typical W98 appearance. And in version 3.0, it will be much more similar to W98, Because the triple menu will be replaced with single button activities menu.
